The Human Form in Neolithic Malta

A unique study on the figurative art of the people who lived in Malta some 5000 years ago. The prehistoric statues and figurines discovered in Malta's many megalithic temples and underground cemeteries are part of a rich material culture that has intrigued archaeologists and the public alike. Of these figures, those that depict the human form are perhaps most interesting, and have been studied in detail by Simon Stoddart, Caroline Malone and Anthony Bonanno. This book concentrates on these particular figurines. Contains new photographs.
